Example Question #316 : 3 D Art
Neoclassical architecture sought to revive the style of architecture prevalent in __________.
Possible Answers:
Ancient Egypt
Ancient Rome
Byzantium
Medieval Germany
Correct answer:
Ancient Rome
Explanation:
Neoclassical art and architecture came about in Europe hand in hand with the philosophical era known as the Enlightenment in the eighteenth century. Just as the Enlightenment reacted against Catholic Christianity and embraced reason over emotion, Neoclassical artists sought to go back to antiquity, to a "pre-Christian" era. Thus, Neoclassical architecture brought back the chief elements of Roman architecture, like columns, domes, and collonades.
